Wow, did they fix the IFS hole too?

Okay...that is true. But for the sysadmins of a small college, this is not
  a feasible option.

All we really wanted to do is make Zilla work on other machines, so
  you could run it in a mixed network. But when one of the other
  admins went to ask Richard Crandall about this the reply was basically
  "No, and don't even try".

Oh, yeah, we also wanted to install a hack of ours to fix the idle time
  for someone who logged in via the workspace.

Sort of annoying that there is an attitude of 'run this on our computers
  and no one elses'. Sorry, but the world is not made completely out
  of one company's platforms. Being able to port useful programs around
  is a really nice thing.
